Analysis# Virgin Islands (U.S.) Population Analysis
The U.S. Virgin Islands has experienced sustained population decline, shrinking by 3.25% over the past decade to reach 104,377 residents in 2024, positioning it as the 186th most populous U.S. territory among 209 ranked entities. The territory's demographic trajectory represents a stark reversal from its peak growth period in the 1960s, when the population expanded rapidly due to tourism and oil refining development, though current data does not specify the exact growth rate for that decade. This persistent contraction reflects long-term emigration pressures driven by economic challenges, hurricane vulnerability, and limited job opportunities relative to mainland alternatives.
